The television station obtained a police report that detailed a May 2013 incident in which O'Neal, a former NBA star and current basketball analyst for TNT, is alleged to have caused "permanent injuries" to a co-worker.

“(The co-worker) alleged Shaquille O’Neal tackled him to the ground causing injury to his back while they were at work at Turner Studios,” Atlanta Police Sgt. Greg Lyon told the station.

O'Neal's coworker, Robert Williams, told Atlanta Police that O'Neal "tackle-punched" him and fell down on top of him, causing his back injury.

For O'Neal's part, attorney, Dennis Roach, said in a statement, “This was nothing more than horseplay. No one intended for anyone to get injured.” Williams disputes the assertion that his injuries were received as part of any "horseplay."
